Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had this problem. While video chatting on the new hangout or skype, the sound keeps jumping from the phone speakers to the ear speakers. Needless to say this is a huge hassle as you keep the phone away from your ears when you're video chatting. The front ear speakers are significantly weaker than the back speakers and this makes it very difficult to hear.
Since this happens in 2 different apps, I'm thinking it's an s3 issue and not an app issue. For Google hangouts, you can choose to use back or front speakers. Reselecting the back speakers is a temporary fix. But then it will automatically jump back again... Very annoying since skype doesn't have a temporary fix like that.
Anyone else have this problem or a fix? Thanks in advanced!!

Hi All,
When I use headphones (tried 3 different pairs) whenever I listen to any audio output, whether from a game, mp3s, radio, system noises, there's always a lot of static and/or hiss. It's in the background and not too terrible but I'm thinking there's something wrong with the hardware in my Photon. I tried taking out the battery and it made no difference.
Anyone else have this issue? Should I return it? Any advice?
Thanks!
I use Moto bluetooth headset to listen and don't have any additional noise over what would normally be there (say, compared to what it sounded like on my EVO).
Do you get this background noise through the phone speaker as well or just the headset? Might be something with the audio plug on the phone.
If you have tried other headsets and the phone speaker is either doing it or not, wouldn't hurt to take it in to a Sprint store and have them check it out.
Thanks CCallahan. I exchanged it and the new one doesn't do that so I guess it was just a fluke.
I have the same thing going on, with headphones only. Guess it's just the luck of the draw

I would exchange it. I guess it is the luck of the draw. My new photon has been less buggy overall - not just with this issue. The other one wasn't terrible but there were a lot more fcs and hard crashes. Could be just coincidence but with the audio jack issue too seems like there just might be bad ones out there.
Does anyone else have this problem? For example, while driving and connected to my A2DP headunit, if I get a message from WhatsApp, it'll play through the speaker on the phone and my car speakers. Or if my headphones are connected, the refresh noises from Twitter/Pulse news will also play through the speaker.
Can someone just check if this happens?

Not getting u properly
Well if you have your headphones connected, will some sounds on the phone still play though your speaker?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is a REALLY simple test. Someone please, for the love of god, plug in your headphones and try to update Twitter or something. See if the noise plays through the speaker.
Wow, I'm amazed at how unhelpful some people can be.

After your last comment im pretty sure that less people will want to help. And its normal when you have something external hooked up wheteher bt or 3.5mm jack to external speakers for sound to play externally.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I have the same issue. While I'm listening to songs, if I get a notification, or even if I take a picture on the stock camera, the shutter sound goes through the speakers. It's pretty annoying if you're listening to something loudly on a public place. Anybody know how to fix?
Hello Forum,
just get this thread back, because i need that feature
Lemme explain:
My Galaxy S2(XXLSJ leaked), is connected into JVC bluetooth car Audio device, which supports incoming notifications from phone.
In the past, with my old Nokia 5800 C6 ported, when i get a SMS, on the dual din screen of my JVC appears a message about new SMS received, and remais there until i read on the phone or touch on it into display.......
Is this feature be possible with a mod on a leaked XXLSJ Rom?
Thanks for helping and answering you Masters
So, I just got a replacement Rezound due to low hiss in music player and phone crashing. This was a new replacement, not a refurb. When I am making a call, sometimes it sounds okay, then all of a sudden, i will hear this crackling sound, kind of like a blown speaker. Sometimes, the whole call will sound fuzzy. it has happened on several phone calls already. BTW, my replacement has the same low hiss when the music player is on that some others complained about.
I have attached a short audio clip for reference.
wait how did you record your call?

There's a voice recorder in the phone, I believe you can use it while on a call.

I have just recently gotten a rezound about 3 weeks ago and I have noticed issues with my bluetooth. Not all, but most people I talk to on the other end say my voice is muffled and has lots of static. I can't figure out how to remove it. I've attempted turning everything off (wifi, gps,4g) and the static is still there. I've read about some people having issues on vzw site and HTCs site but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere here. I'm am running the latest ICS leak, which has nothing to do with it because the phone did it before I updated the firmware. This is all on a Plantronics M100 that worked flawlessly with my Dinc. If I can't resolve this I may have to return this phone for something else because I HAVE to have a working bluetooth. If anyone has a bluetooth that works great let me know and ill try it to see if I can get one that works. Who knows maybe this bluetooth doesn't like this phone. Anyways, thanks in advance...

I know what you are talking about. I use a samsung hm3500 for videos and audio because it supports A2DP. But it is also just a Bluetooth headset. Probably the coolest one I have found. Great for watching videos without headphones.
(Sorry that was me babbling)
Anyway, yes I have the same issue with the HM3500. People tell me my voice sounds muffled, but when I switch to the phone mic, it sounds much better. I assume it is just a low quality headset? I only paid #10 for it.
I use a jawbone era. It works the same on this phone as it does on my dinc and my charge.
I mean.. I MIGHT be the phone. Call and get a replacement, if its still a problem then get something else I guess.
The best thing to do to check it, is to call yourself and leave yourself a voicemail. Talk with the headset, turn it off and talk with out it. Go back and forth s few Times.
Repeat with the dinc.. compare the quality yourself. It has been my experience that other people are bad at accurately describing problems.

Quick troubleshooting
I have had occasional problems too on my phone, but the wife's does not.
Check how you hold the phone. There is a mic hole on the bottom edge you do not want to cover with a finger, I did. Take off the back cover and check that the mic hole is open, not clogged.
Does the audio input accessed by the keyboard (for voice recognition text input) hear you and work well? If that does not, the phone isn't picking up your voice. You could also try making a voice recording and playing it back to check the quality.
Try a bluetooth headset or car radio handsfree. If those work fine then the problem is likely with the phone/mic. That will involve a replacement.
Ill try the voicemail thing. The problem is with my bluetooth not the phone mic itself. When I switch to that people say I sound much better. I have tried several different ways of holding it with all the same result. I made several phone calls last night and some were land lines. My wife said one time I sounded staticky and the rest of the time it was better. Other calls I made the other people said static as well. I don't know what would cause it to be intermittent like this.

Bluetooth
I would try a different bluetooth set. I use mine with a bluetooth motor cycle helmet head set and it works just fine. Also with a Motorola stereo set sounds good to.
Ok really starting to get pissed at this Rezound. Got another headset to try and....same results. Callers on the other end say I sound extremely loud like my mouth is right on the bluetooth and the audio is very muddled. Why is this all the sudden a problem??? My other bluetooth worked great with my original incredible. If I can get this resolved I'm ditching this phone and getting something else because I NEED bluetooth. Someone please tell me a headset that works for theirs and I will try that one!

I have just wiped my phone and taken it straight back to stock and this did not solve my issues with the earphone jack, speakerphone or silent video.
I'm guessing this is a hardware issue and if so, does anyone know how I could go about fixing it?
Thanks....
It sounds like a hardware issue to me, you can get the vibrate, headphone Jack, Mic, and speaker for under 15 bucks On eBay. You'll need something like this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271130667126 the way I found out mine was bad, was I swapped parts out with my wife's i777.
Edit: If you are uncomfortable taking your phone apart, I bet mobile tech videos can fix it for a fee. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com
